Gentle Sleep Instructor

Chapter 1174 Key

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. Without further ado, she took Su An's hand and headed towards their room.

307.

The door opened, revealing a surprisingly large space. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and near the door, in a conspicuous spot, two pairs of slippers were neatly arranged.

After changing into the slippers, Su Xiaoxiao and Su An closed the door.

"Feng Jie, you and Zhou Tong should stay together. Be alert tonight, I have a feeling something's going to happen." Xia Qiang turned to look at the taciturn Feng Jie and instructed.

"Understood," Feng Jie nodded.

Zhou Tong took the key from Chen Ran and, with Feng Jie, went to room 313, not far from Su Xiaoxiao and Su Jie's room.

Jiang Cheng looked at Feng Jie's back without much regret or pity, because he knew that there was a high probability that Feng Jie was also a ghost. This scene was just for show.

Xia Qiang's team cannot be trusted!

This wasn't just a guess, but because Xia Qiang and his group were acting increasingly strangely. They were the ones who knew Zhou Tong best, yet they turned a blind eye to the anomalies in her.

And most importantly, Xia Qiang and his team had entered other mission worlds on the bus after separating from him, yet miraculously, they hadn't suffered any casualties.

They weren't the protagonists, so why?

Even the Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan siblings were all alive and kicking.

Jiang Cheng had a bold guess in his mind. Xia Qiang's team were all ghosts, and Teacher Zi Gui's team were also all ghosts. The conflict between Su Xiaoxiao and Zhou Tong was also likely staged. She and Su An were also very likely to be ghosts.

Based on this, the ghost content of this mission was surprisingly high. He even suspected that Lin Wan'er's team was also abnormal. Perhaps... perhaps everyone here except for the fatty who came to this world with him was a ghost!

A hand rested on Jiang Cheng's shoulder. "Don't space out, it's time to go upstairs."

Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw Luo He's face. He tried his best to stare into Luo He's eyes, as if trying to find a flaw in that perhaps well-disguised face.

Luo He also noticed the strangeness in Jiang Cheng's expression and frowned slightly, but the next second, Jiang Cheng shifted his gaze and went upstairs with them.

The fourth floor arrived.

This time, Jiang Cheng planned to stay.

After all, the core of tonight's mission was the ghost opera in the first floor lobby, so he didn't want to be too far away.

But it seemed that many people had the same idea as him. Xia Qiang and the others also requested to stay on this floor. In the end, it was agreed that Xia Meng and Li Mengyao would share a room, and Xia Qiang and Yuan Xiaotian would share a room.

"I... I also want to stay on this floor." Lu Yu opened her mouth with a pleading voice, her humble attitude making it difficult to refuse. "Is anyone willing to share a room with me? Anyone is fine."

Du Moyu stepped forward. "Me, me, me, Miss Lu, if you don't mind, you can just stay by my side. I'm also single...呸! I'm also alone!"

"Okay," Lu Yu nodded lightly.

Jiang Cheng walked to the door of room 414, pretending to open the door. The fatty asked curiously, "Doctor, do you also want to stay on this floor?"

Jiang Cheng ignored him and turned his head, pretending to casually say to Chen Ran behind the fatty, "Since everyone is staying nearby, then I'll stay in this room." After saying that, he naturally stretched out his hand to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran took out the key to room 414 from his pocket and handed it to him. Then, he and Lin Wan'er's group continued to walk upstairs.

After using the key to open the door of 414, the situation inside the room came into view. Apart from the size, the layout was similar to the rooms downstairs. At this moment, in front of them, there were also two pairs of slippers.

The fatty said with a slightly complaining tone, "Doctor, it would have been better for us to go up with Boss Lin. We could have taken care of each other. You said..."

The fatty suddenly stopped talking, because he turned his head and found that Jiang Cheng was leaning against the door, his face indescribably nervous. At the same time, he could even see beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Doctor, what's wrong?" the fatty asked quickly.

"Chen Ran has a problem," Jiang Cheng said in a hoarse voice. "He's a ghost."

The fatty froze for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He urged in a very urgent but low voice, "What's going on? How... how did you see it?"

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand, revealing a key.

The fatty looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything special about the key. It was just an ordinary copper-colored key, the same as the ones in everyone else's hands.

Jiang Cheng also calmed down at this moment and took a deep breath. "There's no key to room 414 at all. I saw it very clearly downstairs. There are only 3 keys on the fourth floor. I originally just wanted to trick him, but I didn't expect..." Jiang Cheng looked at the key in his hand.

The fatty immediately understood. It was easy to understand. Chen Ran had actually casually taken out a key that didn't exist, and this key had accurately opened the door to their room.

The fatty's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat. "How could... how could ghosts get in so quickly? It doesn't make sense. We didn't do anything. We haven't even spent the night here, and..."

"Don't think so much for now. Quickly change your shoes," Jiang Cheng reminded.

The fatty instinctively followed Jiang Cheng's instructions, but halfway through the action, he suddenly reacted and looked at Jiang Cheng in horror. "Doctor, that's not right. If Chen Ran is fake, then could the clue about changing shoes also be fake?"

"Also, our room is also wrong. The mission didn't originally intend for us to enter this room. Will we be killed by the mission for entering the wrong room?" The fatty asked a series of questions, obviously frightened.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Cheng shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Since the door to this room can be opened, there must be a reason why it can be opened, and I'd rather stay here than go to the rooms outside."

Seeing the doctor's attitude, the fatty didn't say much. The two first changed into slippers, and then walked around the room.

The room was large, but the decoration was a bit old. The two didn't find anything unusual for the time being.

Jiang Cheng found a bed sheet and covered the mirror in the bathroom. "According to the clues provided by the newspaper, this mission seems to be closely related to the large mirror at the corner of the stairs. We should try to avoid mirrors."

"Understood," the fatty nodded.

After all this tossing and turning, it was almost 10:30 by the time Jiang Cheng and the fatty settled down.

10:30 at night.

There was only one and a half hours left before the ghost opera began.

Just as Jiang Cheng was thinking about what to do next, suddenly, the lights in the room went out silently. It wasn't a quick blackout, but a gradual dimming, and finally extinguished.

Fortunately, with the moonlight from outside the window, it wasn't completely dark, but everything around became a blurry, dark black outline.

The environment that had just become familiar suddenly became strange and unfamiliar.
